Linking e-learning with the Lit and Numeracy block, especially alongside IWB's.

List three areas in which you would like to improve your IWB skills

1. Creating more interactive Rich Assessment Tasks (RAT's) with whatever softwares, web 2.0/3.0 content
2. Empowering children to further develop their knowledge of problem solving using point 1.
3. Using my IWB to better manage my class, e.g using it for my focus teacher board for Lit & Num block, attendance, etc

What specific assistance in using an interactive whiteboard would you like to seek from other network members?

Merely to find out how they best use their IWB's for good teaching/learning practice.

What specific services would you like the network administrator to include on this network?

Creating video links to good methods of using IWB's - their is far too much text in this world. Let's face it, after a days teaching, watching an interesting video is far easier than reading copius amounts of networking comments.
